Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are artistÂ’s pinholes in all four corners of each sheet. There is some minor fading to the color in a few of the sheets from magazines. Very soft creases and a few very minor tears at the corners of a few sheets are evident, particularly the sheet in the second row from the top, second from the left side due to handling. There is some very minor wear to the finish on the brass ornament.
